[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids who want ivies need good grades, scores, money to afford tuition, and the skills to play at a high level. Problem is there are hundreds and hundreds of girls in each recruiting class around the country who check these boxes aiming for a limited number of spots (just 50 or so). The questions to ask are: why does Capital send so many girls to these schools compared to other clubs? If attaining one of these spots is *entirely* up to the player, why haven’t a significant number of players at other top clubs reached similar numbers as Capital?[/quote]

This is a great question that I have also seen asked on other forums.  The top Baltimore teams obviously have good players and many or most attend expensive private schools.  Why do those teams send a relatively low number to high academic institutions?  I don't know and I have never seen a good explanation for it.  [/quote]

What are you talking about??? I just looked at M&D’s commit list for 26s and 25s; stanford, army, navy, notre dame. I would say those are high academic schools, and great, cap blue had twins that got into harvard, good job. The other ivy kids were going to dartmouth and columbia. Great schools, dookie programs. They also had kids going to AZ St and Cincy, bum schools. So much cap blue cope here. The 28s stink and the 29s won’t be a top 10 team, you can try to spin it, but the MD programs send kids to top flight schools at the same rate.[/quote]

Here are the 2025 and 2026 D1 commits to US News Top 20 National Universities: Capital had 16, while the combined total for Hero’s, M&D, and Skywalkers was 18. Although definitions of high academic schools may vary, Capital placed more students at these universities than did the Maryland clubs.

To avoid any confusion for anyone, here are the breakdowns for the MD clubs:

Hero’s had 5, which is 33% of the Capital amount
M&D had 5, which is 33% of the Capital amount
Skywalkers had 8, which is 53% of the Capital amount

I still don't know why this difference exists and would welcome any theories.
